Pawn Crossing the River

Qi Xuansu quickly chopped these living armors into pieces scattered on the ground again. Whether these ghost soldiers were former guards of the Kingdom of God, as Zhang Yuelu said, they had no sanity at all. The nearby ghost soldiers had been destroyed. Qi Xuansu cleared them all, but the ghost soldiers in the distance did not react at all. It can be said that the friendly troops are in trouble and remain motionless.

"Where should we go next?" Qi Xuansu looked at Zhang Yuelu and Xiao Yin.

Zhang Yuelu also took out a compass, but it was obviously better than Qi Xuansu's compass. At least it was a treasure to start with. Qi Xuansu was sure that Zhang Yuelu didn't have such a thing before, which showed that the family's support was immediate.

Zhang Yuelu looked down at the compass and led the way himself.

Soon, the three of them arrived at the center of the city, where there was a Buddhist temple covering a vast area.

However, this Buddhist temple is very abrupt. It doesn't look like it was originally built here. Instead, it looks like it fell from the sky, crushing the buildings originally built here indiscriminately. The doves occupy the magpie's nest and are incompatible with the surroundings.

At this time, the Buddhist temple was stained with a layer of black, no longer glorious and solemn. Like the entire cave, it showed a bit of dilapidation and decay.

There are many cracks visible to the naked eye around the Buddhist temple, criss-crossing them, about a person's width, some more than ten feet long, and about one foot short.

When he arrived here, Qi Xuansu could also feel the flow of breath, which was overflowing through these gaps.

From this point of view, this Buddhist temple is the core of the entire cave.

If this is really one of the five seals of Izanozun, then the existence of the Buddhist temple makes sense. After all, it was Buddhism that helped Sanguizi defeat Izanozun. It is also reasonable for Buddhism to construct the core key of the seal. .

There are no restrictions on Buddhist temples and you can come and go freely.

The three of them entered the Buddhist temple and went directly to the Mahavira Hall.

The Mahavira Hall is the core of a temple, where monks gather to practice morning and evening. Generally, the hall has three bays, while the Mahavira Hall has ninety-five bays, symbolizing the "ninety-five-bay majesty" like an emperor. However, when Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu arrived in front of the palace, it was empty except for the mess on the ground.

The moment he stepped into the main hall, Qi Xuansu suddenly felt that there were countless flashes of light in front of him, and the surrounding space began to change and distort, making him feel like he was falling into a sea of ​​clouds, mountains, and fog. There seemed to be Buddha singing Sanskrit in his ears, but there was also an overwhelming gloomy air, which was oppressive. It's so breathtaking.

Qi Xuansu frowned and used martial arts energy to break away all the illusions.

Zhang Yuelu said: "This is the core of the seal, be careful."

While speaking, Zhang Yuelu drew a "Yin Dividing Halberd", and the concentration of Yin Qi in the hall was reduced, and various illusions no longer occurred.

Generally speaking, the Mahavira Hall can only be dedicated to the Buddha, and there are one, three, five, and seven different types of Buddhas. One means that there is only one Buddha in the hall, which is divided into sitting Buddha, standing Buddha and reclining Buddha. The third refers to the three Buddhas enshrined in the hall, which are divided into three Buddhas, horizontal Buddhas of three generations, and vertical Buddhas of three generations. The fifth is the five Buddhas in the east, south, west, north and center, and the seventh is the seven Buddhas in the past, also known as the original seven Buddhas.

At this time, there is a Buddha enshrined in the Main Hall, which is what the world calls Buddha. However, the Buddha statue is already covered with cracks, and black blood is constantly seeping out from the cracks, making the Buddha statue not only less majestic, but also eerie. terror.

Zhang Yuelu's face was a little solemn: "If I guessed correctly, this Buddha statue is the key to the seal, but after being eroded by Yin Qi over time, it is already crumbling. Even if we don't come here, it will be a matter of time before the seal is destroyed."

Qi Xuansu asked: "What is the specific reason?"

Zhang Yuelu explained: "The internal and external influences are mutual. It is true that the culprit of the changes in Ise is the Yin Qi escaping from here, but the huge Yin Qi generated by several wars in Ise also accelerated the sealing here. The collapse of the seal will in turn aggravate the chaos in Ise. In this continuous cycle, the situation will only continue to worsen. "

Qi Xuansu asked: "What should we do now? Destroy this Buddha statue?"

Zhang Yuelu put away the compass and replaced it with a formation map: "I can try to crack it. If this seal is in good condition, with my current level of cultivation, there is nothing I can do. However, the seal here is already shaky, so I Might as well give it a try.”

Qi Xuansu looked at Zhang Yuelu's formation map: "Where did you get so many treasures? I have never seen you use them before. I didn't see this thing the last time I took medicine from your Xumiwu."

Zhang Yuelu said concisely: "Didn't I tell you? The Heavenly Master directly gave me a 'Qiankun Bag'. These new items are all placed in the 'Qiankun Bag'. My original Sumeru items are only used for daily use." thing.”

Qi Xuansu couldn't help but sigh: "The last time I met the Heavenly Master, the Heavenly Master said that there was no suitable semi-immortal creature in the Xuanwu Palace, so he could only use his own sword as a substitute. He was just pretending to be poor to show me."

Zhang Yuelu rolled his eyes at him and refused to comment.

Qi Xuansu added: "But the Taoist Sanxiu is worthy of its name. It has hard-earned family support."

Zhang Yuelu didn't talk nonsense to him. He shook the formation chart in his hand and saw the formation chart flying up on its own and turning into a curtain of light.

This picture is called the "Twenty-Eight Stars Chart", which is a treasure derived from supernatural powers. To use an inappropriate analogy, if the formation seal is regarded as a lock, then the "Twenty-Eight Stars Chart" It is a tool to assist in unlocking, but compared with ordinary treasures, this type of treasure has a limit on the number of times it can be used, so its power is greater than treasures that can be used repeatedly.

Zhang Yuelu pointed at the star map in front of him.

The so-called "Twenty-Eight Star Chart" refers to the twenty-eight constellations. The name "Zhang Yuelu" comes from one of the twenty-eight constellations, as well as Kang Jinlong, Wei Yueyan, Jiaomu Jiao, etc. It is also an old tradition for people in Taoist sects to be named after stars.

As Zhang Yuelu moved the corresponding stars on the array diagram, the seven constellations in the east, south, west and north turned into nine fields and nine heavens.

The first is the central Juntian: Spica, Kangsu, and Disu.

The remaining Yin Qi that permeated the Buddhist temple began to decay rapidly, and the cracks on the Buddha statue spread rapidly, almost becoming one piece.

Then there are the eastern sky: Fangsu, Heart, and Osu, and the northeastern sky: Jisu, Dou, and Oxu.

The main hall began to tremble violently, and the black air around the Buddha statue was billowing endlessly, as if the fire was burning and filthy, and the breath was wavering.

Finally, there are Xuantian in the north: Nusu, Xusu, Weisu, and Shisu; Youtian in the northwest: Bisu, Kuisu, and Lousu; Haotian in the west: Weisu, Pleiades, and Bisu; and Zhutian in the southwest: Gansu and Ritel. , Jingsu, the summer sky in the south: Guisu, Liusu, and Xingsu, the sunny sky in the southeast: Zhangsu, Yisu, and Zhensu. "

All the stars on the star map are connected in a straight line, completely lighting up the star map.

Zhang Yuelu stretched out his hand and pressed the star map.

The seven stars of Canglong in the east, the seven stars of white tiger in the west, the seven stars of Suzaku in the south, and the seven stars of Xuanwu in the north all light up at the same time. Then the actual starlight turned into circles of ripples visible to the naked eye and spread in all directions, from the Main Hall to the entire Buddhist temple.

The last remaining bit of Yin Qi melted away like ice and snow, disappearing into nothing in the blink of an eye.

The entire Buddhist temple began to shake violently. Countless ravines opened on the ground and spread in all directions. The pavilions collapsed, the walls toppled, and the paths tore apart.

This Buddhist temple has the Main Hall as its core, and all the Buddhist temples and pavilions have been engraved with various Buddhist prohibitions, making this Buddhist temple an eye of the formation, and then connected to the fragments of the Kingdom of God, thus becoming the foundation of the entire cave heaven seal.

Zhang Yuelu said: "It will take some time to completely break the formation, and it may alarm something in this city."

Qi Xuansu looked outside. The entire city was shrouded in darkness, as if it were late at night. At this time, countless thick mist that could not be dispersed filled the darkness. Even people with cultivation skills like Qi Xuansu could not see it. If you don't wear it, you can't see through it. It really looks like an ordinary person walking at night.

Just as Zhang Yuelu said, many dark shadows had appeared in the darkness, and at the same time, accompanied by the sound of armors colliding, they were the ghost soldiers that had been entangled previously. .

Qi Xuansu said: "If these things are really the former guards of the Kingdom of God, then they should support us when we open the seal left by Buddhism. How can they stop it?"

Zhang Yuelu said: "I said that all their spirituality has been wiped out over the long years. After the body given by the Kingdom of God was shattered with the Kingdom of God, they no longer have any sanity at all, and they can only rely on their remaining instincts. Expelling all invaders is probably one of the reasons why Buddhism allows them to stay here. Although this will cause trouble for the subsequent repairs of the cave, it is not Buddhism but the responsibility of Ise Shrine to repair the cave. ”

"Tian Yuan, it will take about half an hour for me to maintain the 'Twenty-Eight Star Chart' to break the formation. Please help me protect the law and don't let these things interfere with me."

Before he finished speaking, countless low roars were heard outside, and then countless red light spots lit up in the black fog, as if countless scarlet eyes were staring at the three of them.

Qi Xuansu nodded and asked Xiao Yin to stay inside the Main Hall to clean up the fish that slipped through the net. He himself slowly walked out of the Main Hall and pulled out the "Pure Bodhi" again.

Many ghost soldiers immediately came to kill from all directions, but none of them were Qi Xuansu's enemies. The "Pure Bodhi" blade was filled with the aura of Buddhism. Any ghost soldiers who come into contact with these auras will immediately freeze and can only be slaughtered by others.

At this moment, a military commander dressed like a daimyo appeared. Although he was also devoid of sanity, he still had the instinct to command combat.

It waved the fan in its hand, and the ghost soldiers who originally fought independently formed a military formation and rushed towards Qi Xuansu.

Qi Xuansu used one sword to cut through the array of countless ghost soldiers with a single stroke. The golden light on the "Pure Bodhi" blade surged, leaving a long golden trajectory. All the ghost soldiers located on this trajectory were all Falling apart.

However, because Zhang Yuelu made too much noise, it seemed to attract all the ghost soldiers. No matter how he killed them, there were still dense crowds of ghost soldiers gathering towards the Buddhist temple. At first glance, it looked like a black tide rising and falling. , which is daunting.

Qi Xuansu didn't hesitate at all, and rushed into the crowd of ghost soldiers, slashing wildly at a speed that ordinary martial artists could not match, and directly entered the state of full activation of the "Magic Sword".

Wherever Qi Xuansu passed, countless ghost soldiers disintegrated into armor parts and fell to the ground.
